The Wiley Companion to Religion, Politics, and Nations

Author: Jocelyne Cesari

December 24, 2025

In this book edited by Berkley Center Senior Fellow Jocelyne Cesari and Liah Greenfeld, contributors examine how national identity actively reshapes religious practices and political behavior rather than treating religion as an outlier in state affairs. Drawing on insights from history, anthropology, political science, and religious studies, the book challenges conventional divisions between domestic politics and international affairs, tackling pressing themes such as multiculturalism, pluralism, minority rights, and post-national shifts. Through comparative global case studies, this volume offers scholars and policymakers an indispensable, nuanced guide to understanding the enduring role of faith in contemporary world politics.
